On Paul
"A valuable collection of C. K. Barrett's writings on Paul, the summation of a lifetime's work by the pre-eminent New Testament scholar. This book contains a number of essays, some hitherto unpublished, on historical aspects of Paul's work. Sometimes Professor Barrett takes a broad view, often he looks sharply at important topics. Many of the themes are familiar, but Barrett always illuminates them from new angles, formulating fresh questions and approaches. A new and extensive introductory essay examines the relation of Paul to Christian leaders in Jerusalem."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Freedom and obligation
Author provides an analysis of issues that concerned the early church and that continue to vex contemporary Christians. He argues that Galatians stands at the heart of the New Testament. Historically, this is because Paul's conflicts with Judaism, and with Jewish Christianity, ensured the freedom of the gospel to generate a potentially universal church. Theologically, the same conflicts provided a channel for the life and teaching of Jesus to flow through the ages -- BACK COVER.
